Can someone link me to or remind me of the updates that are potentially being made to the WZ-111?

They're releasing a premium O-I for Halloween, which you can earn for free on Console tanks. Granted it's using the 105 but I prefer that anyways https://console.worldoftanks.com/encyclopedia/vehicles/japan/J24_Mi_To_130_tons_Kaiju/

Eh, I have and had a good experience with at least two people so far (multiple games past the initial meet). Granted, this was early a.m. on the east coast, so maybe I just had the odd luck going there.

Ramming speed in a Grille 15. You see, the element of surprise is very important, and a Grille driving straight at you with in tent to ram you would be very surprising.

Speaking of TDs, why is the ticker only half way up the maximum on my Rhym? I got a 5+ skill crew and every one has camo + brothers in arms. Is the max with the camo net on? (I do not have the 4% from painted camo.)

Because presumably if that line were full, you'd be literally unspottable outside of proxy spotting range. So you're currently only half bullshit I guess. then again it's Wargaming so that line also presumably means nothing, and you can feel free to ignore it. Here's my line for the Obj 416:

I think the line is your theoretical maximum if you have equipment/camo mounted and everyone trained and the gun with the highest DPM, etc. Is there interest in doing the zombie hunting thing in two weeks?

Hellsau posted:Low HE pen makes HE stop working at some point. Like, the mechanic ceases to function - if you load HE on the Luchs's 3cm machine gun and shoot something like a WT100 turret, you will either deal full damage or zero damage. You will never deal partial damage. Since Wargaming thinks being opaque about their game mechanics serves some purpose, I can't really be sure, but I'm going to assume that 40 pen HE isn't enough to actually function as a useful HE round against something like a Maus or E5 or whatever. Also, it isn't 1650 damage HE round, it's 1675 maximum damage roll. The average is 1300 for the gold round, 1000 for the regular, which combined with the low pen makes it substantially different from something like the 183's HESH round. Okay, so to ask bluntly: If I can expect 300-450 damage rolls in the O-Ho, what type of hits can I expect to get in the Type 4 while rocking that new gun firing gold HE?

Simplifying, if HE doesn't pen, it does half the roll minus the armor thickness where you hit. You should see 450 much more often than you do on the O-Ho, but expecting to consistently do a great deal more than that is optimistic. 750 is in reach with excellent rolls and quite flimsy armor.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Okay, so to ask bluntly: I don't think we can know, since HE is such a terrible, inconsistent mechanic and Wargaming don't actually describe their arcane game mechanics anywhere. I'm going to assume that HE's pen matters since it seems to have an effect on artillery direct hit damage, so we have nothing even close to 1300 damage 40 pen HE shells to compare to. With 1750 damage 230 pen HESH, I can expect somewhere around 400-800 HE hits, with the odd shell sometimes dealing <200 or 0 whenever it feels like it. Something like French arti is 1250 damage 95 pen, and does ~300 or so, with the odd <100 shot or 500 damage shot. I'm going to assume it's close to 300 per hit, which is clearly garbage for a tier 10 unless they actually understand how to balance their poo poo. Spoiler alert - having that HE shell on a tank with an 10 second reload is perfectly fine, because it'll murder the gently caress out of thin poo poo while whittling down armored stuff, and that's fine because the tank is slow as gently caress and extremely vulnerable, so fast tanks can just go around and fight it at range. More than likely the gun will be like 3 RPM, so a theoretical 3000 DPM with regular HE, and it'll be total garbage (just like the current tank and gun is.)

Stationary camo is kinda nonsensical for a tank that can't actually aim without moving the chassis though. And it has no turret bloom either. I think most of these gun stats are placeholders by the way, but pen should be right. e: armor model for the 103B:    Note that they made the glacis 50mm.

Captain Blaargh posted:I've discovered I somehow completed far more of the Stug IV missions than I thought. Get an FV304 or leFH18B2 for the missions that require you to do a lot of hits etc, then a M44 for the ones that require you to do a lot of damage. The M44 gets a 240 pen HEAT round at T6 and is accurate enough to enable some really nasty abuse of that even (or maybe especially) when bottom tier. It's also downright disgusting as a shotgunning platform because of this. Shoot a lot of gold, is what I'm saying.

So I just saw a video of that WW1 event they did. Are they actually trying to toy around with new game modes or was it just an April Fools-style one-off? If they're doing something beyond just 15v15 deathmatch with some point cap, I could get back into the game.

A lot of us have been playing since before the interface change, so I at least don't pay any attention to those bars, but my interpretation was that the mark is the base value for that tank, the bar is the current value, and the ends illustrate the range for all tanks. So, your camo & net have noticeably improved the concealment value of your Rhoomba as indicated, but there's some tank out there (probably a low-tier scout) that can have a significantly higher camo value.
